In the quest for quality education, parents seek good schools in Nigeria. I have dedicated this page to helping parents with information that will make them make quality decisions.
One thing I am sure of is that secondary schools in Nigeria owned by Catholics offer a broad education interweaving academic study and co-curricular activity within a framework of pastoral care in which each part is an essential component, just as every strand of a tapestry brings essential value to a total work of Art and Science. The colleges foster the scholastic, spiritual, creative, physical, personal, and social growth of the students.

The list below is in no particular order and all the schools have boarding facilities.
